Pianist is rewarded for slowing down
NewsThe 2023 Franco Buitoni Award, worth £25,000, has been granted to the Italian pianist Filippo Gorini for his Sonata for 7 Cities project.
Gorini, 27, has decided to get off the fly-by-night lifestyle of the international pianist and base himself for a year in seven cities on different continents for a month at a time. He says: ‘I want to focus on each city for a full month and offer as much as I can to the local community in that time, with the aim of leaving a deeper impression than would be possible with a single performance.’
